Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play
It took me by surprise, I must say, when I found out yesterday
It was down in Louisiana, just about a mile from Texarkana
Roach in the cellar, bugs in the sugar, mortgage on the home
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon?
I can hear the bullfrog callin' me
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin' chasin' down a hoodoo there
We could make music at the Greasy King
Good men through the ages, trying to find the sun
Oooh, they're red, white and blue.
When you're rockin' and a-rollin' can't hear your momma call
Put a candle in the window, cause I feel I've got to move
Leave the sinkin' ship behind.
Sun is cold and rain is hard
Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
If she makes a million, papa can retire
Ain't no food upon the table and no pork up in the pan
Jody's gonna get religion all night long.
Oh you won't you take me down to Memphis for a midnight ride
Take you a glass of water, make it against the law.
First thing I remember was askin' papa 'Why?'
Singin' hi, singin' hi, Come on feet, teach yourself to move
Passed me by one sunny day, flashed those big brown eyes on my way
